BLUETOOTH® AUDIO
.Some Bluetooth® audio devices may not
be recognized by the in-vehicle audio
system.
. It is necessary to set up the wireless
connection between a compatible Blue-
tooth® audio device and the in-vehicle
Bluetooth® module before using the
Bluetooth® audio.
. The Bluetooth® audio may stop playing
when
— receiving a hands-free call.
— checking the connection to the hands- free phone.
— connecting the hands-free phone or the audio device.
— downloading the phonebook memory from the connected cellular phone.
. The Bluetooth® audio may be discon-
nected if you are using wireless Apple
CarPlay® (if so equipped).
“Apple CarPlay®” (page 5-18)
. Do not place a Bluetooth® audio device
in an area surrounded by metal or far
away from the in-vehicle Bluetooth®
module to prevent tone quality degrada- tion and wireless connection disruption.
. While an audio device is connected
through a Bluetooth® wireless connec-
tion, the battery of the device may
discharge quicker than usual.
. This system supports the Bluetooth®
Advanced Audio Distribution Profile
(A2DP) and Audio/Video Remote Con-
trol Profile (AVRCP).
. Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and the Blue-
tooth® functions share the same fre-
quency band (2.4 GHz). Using the
Bluetooth® and the wireless LAN func-
tions at the same time may slow down or
disconnect the communication and cause
undesired noise. It is recommended that
you turn off the wireless LAN (Wi-Fi)
when using the Bluetooth® functions.
